Last post before I am no longer a novice...

My abiding feeling over this weekend aside from the bouts of nerves here and there is that tomorrow is going to be a very special day. I am going to enjoy it no matter what and I hope you all do the same! We have trained so hard for this that if you have any doubts in yourself you know more than anyone that they are misplaced!!
Keep believing in yourself, that belief got you this far and will get you to the finish tomorrow.
Someone said to me a few weeks ago that the race tomorrow is actually a victory lap and I quite like that idea...albeit one that I will be running it at marathon pace!

Loved the "final" big post earlier dubgal, they have been such a highlight to read over the course of the training and I will miss them and this thread in the coming weeks!

Good night, good luck and see you all tomorrow in McGrattan's!

frash · 25-10-2015 09:51PM

Off to bed now.

I'll be in a grey 'Leg it for Lakers' top with yellow writing somewhere between 4:30 and 4:40 groups.

clear thinking · 25-10-2015 10:04PM

Best of luck to tomorrows runners, looks like perfect weather for you, a bit of misty rain will bring more oxygen an keep you cool!

patrickincork · 25-10-2015 10:36PM

Been following this thread from the start and have picked up a lot myself, tomorrow is marathon number two.
Best of luck to all the novices! Enjoy every second of it!
Just informed by my friend that we are heading to McGrattans afterwards too for a celebratory pint!
Good luck to all!

Myles Splitz · 25-10-2015 10:38PM

Very best of luck to everyone. The hard work in the marathon is the 100 and 1000s of miles it takes to get to the start line. Remember this is a hobby so enjoy the day and reap the rewards of your hard work

(don't like this post till tomorrow as you should all be in bed by now and we don't want to incur the wrath of DG

)

Pacing Mule · 26-10-2015 03:01AM

Just posting to give dubgal a fright with the email alert.

Good luck everyone.

Chops1234 · 26-10-2015 05:21AM

5.20 and I'm awake!! Today's the day. Woo Hoo!!!!!

Right I'll try and go back to sleep now. Will keep an eye out for the red balloon later

Ginger runner · 26-10-2015 05:50AM

I was awake since about 3:30. Getting a few games of candy crush saga in before my marathon breakfast :-)

Same here! Was getting uncomfortable in the bed so got up in the end.

Ginger runner · 26-10-2015 05:58AM

The wind howling outside but sure it will only be a light breeze by 9am

26-10-2015 06:03AM

Worst nights sleep ever :pac:

Lads - have the best day out.

We made it \o/

Bob_the_dog · 26-10-2015 06:07AM

Oh sh#t..............This is a day all us novices will remember for the rest of our lives. Afraid to get up and open the curtains

mobfromcork · 26-10-2015 06:10AM

Woke at 2.30. Couldn't get back to sleep. Just started to drift off and alarm went at 5.30. Belly full of porridge. Off to get the bus at 6.30.

Best of luck to all. It's going to be great.

nop98 · 26-10-2015 06:28AM

Chomping away at my pre-LSR breakfast, taped-up, packed-up, charged-up, not entirely ready to go but certainly not far off.

I find it hard to believe I am about to line up to run a marathon, but there's a number pinned to my orange t-shirt that says so!

Simply put, I know that without the support found here, I would not have gotten here. I would have lacked the courage to go for it in the first place or dropped out halfway through.

Thank you, my fellow Novices. Your virtual and real comraderie has been world class. Run well, run positive, the time really doesn't matter, finishing it safe and smiling does. I hope to see you all afterwards, the stories we'll tell will be remembered for years.

Thank you, all mentors, Clearlier, FBOT, Meno, Firedance, Bungy Girl, and the many others that I now fail to do justice. Your time spent patiently encouraging us and correcting us is very much appreciated.

Thank you, Dubgal. Even tho it has been said before, it needs to be said again: you are amazing. If we manage to finish at all today, it will be thanks to you.

****.

eyeball kid · 26-10-2015 06:41AM

I slept like a log. Had a dream last night where I did it in 3:45! Feeling inspired.

Gillo · 26-10-2015 06:44AM

Slept crap, no appetite for brekkie so keeping it light with toast and coffee, then top up with an energy bar in a hour or so.

I'll be honest I'm both nervous and excited

Dubgal72 · 26-10-2015 06:52AM

Go own that road!

BIRDCAGE1 · 26-10-2015 06:53AM

The first time in years that I beat the alarm clock, was up and about a good half hour before the alarm was due to go off.
Can't wait to get going .... enjoy everyone.

Toulouse · 26-10-2015 07:00AM

Slept well oddly enough! Marathon dreams but still slept. Calm this morning, am hoping it's just that I feel prepared but also think I could be in denial!!

Techno is on to try get myself revved up a bit!

Kennyg71 · 26-10-2015 07:00AM

Best of luck all today, still to calm, hope it's a good thing.

Barry Badrinath · 26-10-2015 07:05AM

Very best of luck al!

Enjoy it and stay safe!

26-10-2015 07:07AM

This is me, say hello if you see me

I'll hopefully look less scared when I get to town

Phoebas · 26-10-2015 07:08AM

Gulp.

rainbow kirby · 26-10-2015 07:08AM

Best of luck today everyone - it's a wonderful day and I hope you all really enjoy it

This Fat Girl Runs · 26-10-2015 07:12AM

I slept ok! Oh my gosh I can't believe it! I slept! Cat woke me an hour early though. Now he's sitting on my race magazine which I tried to read while eating breakfast. Last day of porridge eating. Woot!!

Gosh I'm full of beans! I feel so ready for this! Can we just be running already?!

Good luck everyone! I'll stop by the 4.30 pacer group to say hello before heading back to my place in the wave.

See you SOON!!

Singer · 26-10-2015 07:26AM

I can't believe that in just a few hours this marathon thread will be over
